Bookies are even offering odds of 8/1 that it will be delivered today.
But camping out?? Why?
How is that going to help anything? I think they are more than a little weird, personally.
What amused me even more is that Kate is happily at home, she's not even in labour, so she's not even at the hospital!
It is like those who camp out for sales in shops etc, too.
Has anyone here ever camped out for an event?

Re: It takes all sorts
Daughter & I camped out in a field to be near the front of a queue for the big Wade fest at Arundel, the first year it was held, in those days my daughter & I were passionate about collecting Wade ceramic animals & figures.(We still have most as well, a cabinet full in my living room.)
Any way.... I was dying for a wee, no suitable bush & the public toilets some way away were closed. The lovely couple in front of us let me use their portable loo. A great relief & many thanks to that couple.

Regarding the actors, it seems to me that almost all of the Shakespearean actors of that generation eventually became famous, probably because the burgeoning TV industry catapaulted them into people's living rooms - almost all of the then new BBC2 audience (8 million) tuned in to watch Soames rape Irene in black and white .....
I met Nyree Dawn Porter, much later and in colour, while shopping on Oxford Street - she was stunningly gorgeous to a callow youth like me and I was lost for words - luckily, I think she was used to wide-eyed, gaping men and she indulged me with several minutes of touching pleasantries .....
